By 2021, there will be approximately 12,000 new Starbucks stores that will be opened globally. A huge driver of this will be China, which will see its store count double over this five-year period. This is sure to benefit SBUX stock, because China is home to some of the company’s most efficient and profitable locations Starbucks’ beta, which is used to measure volatility, is 0.72, compared to 1.0 for the overall market. This means if the market falls by one percent, then, on average, SBUX stock would fall by 0.72%.
Market is realizing that either everything is overvalued and should be sold or when many crappy stocks are traded at ridiculous prices, a decent stock like SBUX is a strong buy and target should be over $80. That is why SBUX is creeping up after the fall just on earning AH.
